Development of a smart system to monitor and collect waste using the Internet of things technologies and evolutionary algorithms

Annotation. Solid waste management is one of the existing problems in urban areas and it is becoming a critical issue because of the rapid increase in population. In Russia, the process of waste collecting is not automated yet. However, waste collection by the traditional method, when garbage trucks travel around controlled territories on schedule, becomes ineffective in our cities: in some places, garbage bins remain empty or low-filled for a long time, while in other areas they are filled in a matter of hours. To develop an intelligent system for monitoring and collecting waste, it is proposed to use Internet of things technologies. At the same time, the search for the optimal route must be carried out taking into account not only the shortest path length, but also the level of fullness of the garbage truck tank, which is the task of combinatorial optimization, the so-called knapsack problem.

Key words. Smart city, Transport and logistics complex, IoT, Internet of things, Smart waste monitoring and collection system, Knapsack problem, Evolutionary algorithms.
